The '25 in 5 Network for Poverty Reduction' released a report summarizing what communities want to see in the Ontario government's Poverty Reduction Strategy now under development.
Based on recommendations from over 50 community meetings held this summer across Ontario, the report will be attached to an Open Letter to the Premier and delivered to all MPPs.
This report was released on the 1 year anniversary of the founding of the '25 in 5 Network for Poverty Reduction', and as Liberal MPPs prepare for a Liberal Caucus retreat.
Listen to unedited audio from the press conference and an exclusive interview with Mike Creek, who's had direct experience with poverty.
